Kagome Higarashi stood in her miko garbs, sweeping the shrine steps happily while twirling around and listening to her music. She was in kindergarten, and going to be in the summer play when it rolled around. She was going to be a star! This pleased her and her family very much. "Kagome!"
Came the sweet call of her mother, and the little girl dropped the broom and ran to the woman, holding her arms out to be picked up. She smiled a bit and held a yearning gaze. Her mother, Itchiyo, stooped over and picked up her daughter, holding her close. She took her daughter inside and set her down on the couch, sitting beside her and waiting patienly. The screen door opend and an older man, Tsuki, walked in, drunk again. He looked at his pregnant wife and daughter, hate rising in those dark blue American eyes. He raised his fist and launched himself forward, Itchiyo getting slammed into the couch. Kagome screamed out and ran from the house, leacing her mother and father. Racing down the shrine steps she hurled herself into moving traffic. There was a ear shattering screem as a white car slammed into her, her frail body rolling off the windshield and onto the pavement.
Her mother ended up in critical care, and Kagomes little brother was born five hours after, her mother dieing soon after. Her father had died, head crashing against a table and killing him on impact. Kagome ended up with a broken arm, a leg, and three cracked ribs. She went into a coma for two years. She stayed at the shrine, her and her baby brother, Souta, was taken care of by their Jii-chan.
----------------------------------------------
Kagome grew up with her brother, Souta becoming a fun loving little boy. Kagome on the other hand, became emotionaly scarred and a loner. Her grandfather home shooled her, where Souta qwnt to real, regular school. Kagome did make a few friends though, Yuki, Ayume, Tsuki. They moved however, and left Kagome alone in Japan. Soon after they left, Sango and Miroku moved in, becoming friends with little Kagome and britening her days somewhat.
Kagomes Jii-chan tried his hardest to get his grand child to fit in, but ended up teaching her the ways of demon exterminators, mikos, demons, and half breeds. She becamean excellent fighter at a very young age, and Her grandfather said a prayer to transfer the Shikon No Tama to Kagomes body, there she could easily protect it withought knowing about it. And hopefully, she wouldnt ever use the jewel if she found out...
--------------------------------------------
A bit of time passed and Kagome grew with her friends, becoming aquainted with many older people and working in a retirement home by the age of ten. She herd all about the Inuyasha incadent and became sad for the boy, wishing to meet him some day and tell him that she was sorry for his loss. Only becuse he had been a bit younger than her when he had lost his mom, and then father and then older brother to the same murderer. There wasnt anything anyone could to about catching the murderer though, becuse the Murderer was already locked up for storing and selling drugs. His name was Naraku Kawamarie, the same demon that got Kagomes father drunk and got inside his head that he needed to kill his family.
Kagome cried every night after learning this, and promised to avenge her familys deaths by Killing naraku, even if it cost her life.
